The Münster of Ulm is the town’s landmark. In 1377 the foundation stone for the building was laid. The 161.53 meters high tower was completed in 1890 and is still the highest church tower in the world. It survived the bombing of the city of Ulm at the end of the Second World War 1944/1945 largely undamaged. For the 4th time, the Ulm Münster tower run took place today, carried out by EinsteinMarathon.de. 560 steps had to be overcome. My colleagues of Towerrunning Germany Jan Fiebig, Franz and Xinxin Maier were at the start. The race entry fees went straight to the conservation of Ulm Münster.

Today I was on-site to present Towerrunning Germany for the first time to the Ulm runners and spectators. This tower run is part of this year’s towerrunning series in Germany.
